Hi,

Yes, they can be overridden, but I think it's still quite difficult to
manage. DSS is modeled with multiple blocks, also in DT data. So you'd
need to override multiple entries.

And it'd also require a new dts file for each version of your board with
different ES version.

Also, I don't really see why this information would need to be present
in the DT data (especially as it's not simple). It's all trivially found
out in the code, by using cpu_is & soc_is.

Fair enough. I just think we should remove all cpu_is_* and soc_is_*
from drivers.

I agree, that's part of the idea here. Instead of having cpu_is checks
all around, we'll have them in only certain centralized places. Then
it's easier to implement a way to move them totally out of the driver,
when we come up with a good idea how to accomplish that.

Yes limiting them to driver init and setting some driver specific flags
based on that is a good start. But eventually no drivers should have
those checks.
